How to Claim Your Google Business Profile

Looking for ways to get noticed in the search results? Claiming and optimizing your Google Business Profile is one of the most important things you can do to improve your search ranking.

Verify Ownership

Google Business Profile is a free tool that you can use to promote your business on Google Search and Maps.

In order to activate your profile, you will need to complete the verification process. This will confirm that you are the rightful owner of the business.

For most businesses, you can verify ownership over the phone, via SMS, or by requesting and receiving a postcard to your physical location. Learn more about how you can verify your Google Business Profile here.

You will also be able to reply to the Google Reviews your customers leave for your business. View some of our tips for optimizing here.
